Nice article on the pesky insects and arachnids of Southeast Minnesota! A far better method of removing embedded ticks of all types, however, is a little gizmo called "the Tick Key." It is extremely easy to use, removes ticks safely and completely, attaches to a key ring making it easy to carry, and it's inexpensive ($6 or $7 if I remember correctly) too. Should be able to find some at area campgrounds (got mine from Maple Springs Campground near Forestville SP).
